OBAMA Gave You BODY SCAN & GROPE

Just one day after establishing an e-mail hotline address for travelers to report first-hand the abuse they suffer at the hands of Transportation Security Administration personnel, a petition has been launched to tell President Obama, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and members of Congress all about the problem.

The petition targets the decision-makers in Washington who could bring the invasive procedures to a screeching halt.

"We, the undersigned, call for the immediate suspension of the enhanced security screening procedures and an apology to the American public by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for directing the implementation of this ill-advised program," says the petition.

It's reasons are clear:Whereas, the Transportation Security Administration recently commenced "enhanced" airport screening procedures that include invasive and humiliating full-body scans that result in the display of a graphic image of each passenger's naked body to be scrutinized by a TSA agent – a virtual strip search;

Whereas, the Transportation Security Administration also began, at the same time, to subject all who choose not to undergo the indignity of the full-body scan, new and more aggressive ("enhanced") open-hand pat-down procedures to be used on men, women and children, which include manual contact with their breasts and genitalia;

Whereas, requiring such a degrading and invasive search of passengers and flight crews utterly ignores the Fourth Amendment, which says, "'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated";

Whereas, full-body scans produced by backscatter X-ray machines create radiation potentially harmful to frequent fliers and airline crew members, prompting the world's largest independent airline pilot association – the American Pilots Association, representing about 12,000 pilots – to strongly warn its members to avoid the new screening;

Whereas, these new procedures, being massively unpopular, humiliating, immoral and subject to horrific abuse, are certain to result in an increased aversion to flying on the public's part, which in turn will further hurt the airline industry and cause the country as a whole even more economic difficulties:

"What is happening around the country is a national embarrassment," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND in an announcement about the tsatips@wnd.com hotline e-mail.

Read the incident of a traveler named John Tyner on his way to SouthDakota when he encountered a cadre blue-shirted of TSA gropersTyner’s ordeal demonstrates the severity of a government out of control, especially when a TSA officer has

During the next half-hour, his cell phone recorded Tyner refusing tosubmit to a full body scan, opting for the traditional metal scanner anda basic “pat down” — and then refusing to submit to a “groin check”by a TSA security guard

.He even told the guard,

“You touch my junk and I’m going to

have you arrested.”

His threat triggered a code red alert as

TSA agents, supervisorsand eventually the local police gravitated to the spot where thereluctant traveler stood in his stocking feet, his cell phonesitting in the nearby bin (which he wasn’t allowed to touch)picking up the audio.

[snip]Once he threatened to have the TSA agent arrested though, eventsturned surreal.

A supervisor is heard re-explaining the groin check process toTyner then adding

“If you’re not comfortable with that, wecan escort you back out and you don’t have to fly today.”

Tyner responded

“OK, I don’t understand how a sexual assault can be made a condition of my flying.”

Requested by Gov.Perry, Texas Congress will reconsider a bill that makes TSA patdowns a misdemeanor. Bill would put over-touchy TSA officials @ risk of being arrested for sexual harassment & charged with a misdemeanor resulting in a $4,000 fine and up to a year in jail. http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/2...

Sen.Paul questioned Administrator of TSA John Pistole in Senate hearing of Homeland Security & Govt Affairs Committee: Citizens' right to travel is being violated by the federal government every day. Searching of toddlers, infants & elderly is a waste of resources & a concrete example of federal govt harassing American travelers. http://biggovernment.com/capitolconfi...-

DECREED BY DHS BIg SIS: (TSA PAT & GROPE @ MASS TRANSIT-TRAINS-BOATS TOO!) “I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime.
